The Ultimate Team Challenge - KM Charity Dragon Boat Race 2017

30-May-2017

The race is on to secure a place as teams enter for the 2017 KM Dragon Boat Race and raise funds for their chosen charity.

Allowing up to 17 rowers per team, crews of 11 can compete, with one of the crew beating a drum to dictate the pace of the paddles, as they take part in
a minimum of three races, with the fastest teams competing in the finals at the end of the day.

KM Charity say it is a challenge for those who wish to take part in and enjoy the ancient traditions of the dragon boat; as well as a test of strength
and rowing techniques by travelling across the 250m course in the fastest time.

It is also a day for spectators as well as for people taking part, as they can visit stalls, purchase food and drink, or hire rowing boats or pedal boats
at Mote Park Watersports Centre, who are hosting the event.
